Acute kidney injury in patients with Cirrhosis: Acute disease quality Initiative (ADQI) and international Club of ascites (ICA) joint multidisciplinary consensus meeting.

Early recognition of HRS-AKI is crucial since administration of splanchnic vasoconstrictors may reverse the AKI and serve as a bridge to liver transplantation, the only curative option. In 2023, a joint meeting of the International Club of Ascites (ICA) and the Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) was convened to develop new diagnostic criteria for HRS-AKI, to provide graded recommendations for the work-up, management and post-discharge follow-up of patients with cirrhosis and AKI, and to highlight priorities for further research.

GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDE-1 RECEPTOR AGONISTS INCREASE SOLID GASTRIC RESIDUE RATES ON UPPER ENDOSCOPY ESPECIALLY IN COMPLICATED DIABETIC PATIENTS: A CASE CONTROL STUDY.

GLP-1RA use is associated with increased gastric residue on upper endoscopy, particularly in T2DM patients, surpassing the impact of opiates alone. Risk is highest in the presence of T2DM complications, while prolonged fasting and a clear-liquid diet are protective. This increased risk of gastric residue does not appear to translate to an increased risk of procedural complications.

Nutritional aspects of prehabilitation in adults with cirrhosis awaiting liver transplant.

Future research is warranted to more accurately evaluate energy needs, evaluate emerging dietary supplementation strategies, and establish the role of nutraceuticals alongside food-based interventions. While the general principles of nutritional prehabilitation are ready for immediate application, future large-scale randomized controlled trials in this space will help to quantify the benefit that can be gained by transitioning the LT approach from passive "transplant waitlist time" to active "transplant preparation time."

Evaluation of a delayed liver transplantation strategy for patients with HCC receiving bridging therapy: the DELTA-HCC study.

The DELTA HCC study shows that DS does not negatively impact neither pre- nor post-LT patients 'outcomes, and has the potential to redistribute organs to patients in more urgent need of LT. It can reasonably be proposed and pursued. The unexpected high risk of drop out in T1 patients seems related to the MELD-based driving rules underserving this subgroup, calling for revision of allocation rules. Impacts and implications To maximize utility and prevent premature liver transplantation (LT), a delayed LT strategy (DS) was adopted in France in 2015. It consists in postponing LT until recurrence in patients listed for any single HCC curatively treated by surgical resection or thermal ablation. The DELTA HCC study was conducted to evaluate this nationwide strategy. It shows in a non-US, European LT program that DS - does not negatively impact pre- nor post-LT patients 'outcome,- concerns up to 20% of LT candidates-has therefore the potential to redistribute organs to patients in more urgent need of LT. Such a delayed strategy can reasonably be pursued and extended to other LT programs. Of note, an unexpected high risk of drop out in T1 patients, seemingly related to MELD-based offering rules which underserve these patients, calls for further scrutinization and revision of allocation rules in this subgroup.

Post-treatment LSM rather than change during treatment predicts decompensation in patients with cACLD after HCV cure.

FU-LSM is key for risk stratification after HCV-cure and should guide clinical decision-making. LSM dynamics do not hold significant prognostic information in patients with FU-LSM 10-19.9 kPa, and thus, their consideration is not of sufficient incremental value in the specific context of HCV-cure.

Transplant benefit-based offering of deceased donor livers in the United Kingdom.

In the first two years of NLOS offering, waiting list mortality fell while post-transplant survival was not negatively impacted, delivering on the scheme's objectives. Impact and implications The National Liver Offering Scheme (NLOS) was introduced in the UK in 2018 to increase transparency of the deceased donor liver offering process, maximise the overall survival of the waiting list population, and improve equity of access to liver transplantation. To our knowledge, it is the first scheme that offers organs based on statistical prediction of transplant benefit; the Transplant Benefit Score (TBS). The results are important to the transplant community - from healthcare practitioners to patients - and demonstrate that, in the first two years of NLOS offering, waiting-list mortality fell while post-transplant survival was not negatively impacted, thus delivering on the scheme's objectives. The scheme continues to be monitored to ensure that the TBS remains up-to-date and that signals that suggest the possible disadvantage of some patients are investigated.

Treatment response and clinical event-free survival in autoimmune hepatitis: a Canadian multicentre cohort study.

In people living with AIH, sustained elevated aminotransferase values, but not IgG, are associated with poorer long-term outcomes. Biochemical response and long-term survival are not associated with starting prednisone dose. Impact and implications Using clinical data from multiple Canadian liver clinics treating autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), we evaluate treatment response and clinical outcomes. For the first time, we apply mixed-effect and time-varying survival statistical methods to rigorously examine treatment response and the impact of fluctuating liver biochemistry on clinical event-free survival. Key to the study impact, our data is 'real-world', represents a diverse population across Canada, uses continuous measurements over follow-up, and our findings help inform risk stratification of patients. We provide evidence for treating clinicians, as well as those developing and evaluating new therapies, to seek evidence of good treatment response by keeping aminotransferase activity values within the reference range. Our results challenge the role of IgG as a marker of treatment response and if normalisation of IgG should remain an important part of the definition of biochemical remission. Our analysis further highlights that baseline markers of disease severity may not prognosticate early treatment response. Additionally, the initial prednisone dose may be less relevant for achieving aminotransferase normalisation. This is important for patients and treating clinicians given the relevance and importance of side-effects of treatment for patients.

Developing and Validating Clinical Prediction Models in Hepatology-an Overview for Clinicians.

We use them to assign a diagnosis or a prognosis, and there is a continuous effort to develop better prediction models. It is important to understand the fundamentals of prediction modeling, and here we describe nine steps to develop and validate a clinical prediction model with the intention of implementing it in clinical practice: Determine if there is a need for a new prediction model; define the purpose and intended use for the model; assess the quality and quantity of the data you wish to develop the model on; develop the model using sound statistical methods; generate risk predictions on the probability scale (0-100%); evaluate the performance of the model in terms of discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility; validate the model using bootstrapping to correct for the apparent optimism in performance; validate the model on external datasets to assess the generalizability and transportability of the model; and finally publish the model so that it can be implemented or validated by others.
